Re: [flashrom] Help: unable to upgrade bios

Thanks David. As you said, the reason for not programming is due to wrong op.atomic configuration. Is there any way to set these properly? Yes jumper selects the ROM at a time. Thanks for the help, Raghu From: David Hendricks [mailto:dhendrix@google.com] Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2012 4:42 AM To: Raghuramchary Jallipalli Cc: flashrom(a)flashrom.org; V Balaji; Vishnuvardhan Reddy Subject: Re: [flashrom] Help: unable to upgrade bios On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 5:12 AM, Raghuramchary Jallipalli <Raghuramchary.Jallipalli(a)lntinfotech.com<mailto:Raghuramchary.Jallipalli@lntinfotech.com>> wrote: The force option enable worked and we were able to program the AT25DF321A flash. But the contents are wrong and the board was not able to come up. Please see attached for the verbose output for both read and write. There is a high likelihood that either the Management Engine (ME) or embedded controller (EC) is interfering with Flashrom operation. One concern is that flashrom does not appear to set the op.atomic field properly: 0x94: 0x0606 (PREOP) 0x96: 0x0be4 (OPTYPE) 0x98: 0x02030105 (OPMENU) 0x9C: 0xff9f3c20 (OPMENU+4) 0xA0: 0x00000000 (BBAR) 0xD0: 0x00000000 (FPB) Reading OPCODES... done preop0=0x06, preop1=0x06 op[0]=0x05, 0, 0 op[1]=0x01, 1, 0 op[2]=0x03, 2, 0 op[3]=0x02, 3, 0 op[4]=0x20, 3, 0 op[5]=0x3c, 2, 0 op[6]=0x9f, 0, 0 op[7]=0xff, 0, 0 The third column shows that none of the opcodes are configured as atomic cycles. Thus, Flashrom does not know to set the SPIC_ACS bit (http://flashrom.org/trac/flashrom/browser/trunk/ichspi.c#L782) when processing these opcodes. If the "atomic" field is not set properly, then it is possible for ME or EC to interfere with flashrom in between write enable (WREN) opcodes such as block erase and program page. On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 5:12 AM, Raghuramchary Jallipalli <Raghuramchary.Jallipalli(a)lntinfotech.com<mailto:Raghuramchary.Jallipalli@lntinfotech.com>> wrote: For your info, the board has two flashes(each 4MB) and the bios resides on the second(we have a jumper option to select the flash device). We are confused whether the flashrom selects the correct flash device and program it. Are both ROMs logically present? Or will the jumper only enable one ROM at a given time? If there are multiple ROMs present, then Flashrom use the "Hardware Sequencing" method of flashing when it detects the "Number of Components" (NC) > 0 in the flash descriptor region: http://flashrom.org/trac/flashrom/browser/trunk/ichspi.c#L1742 See FLMAP0 in the Intel documentation for more details, and ensure the NC field is programmed appropriately for your mainboard configuration. -- David Hendricks (dhendrix) Systems Software Engineer, Google Inc. ________________________________ The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) may contain confidential or privileged information for the intended recipient(s).

It's a low level tool that put inside the flash chip exactly the same contents of the the image file. Nothing else. By default flashrom uses the internal programmer and just touch the mainboard flash chip. It's really "flashrom -w" (-Vw for the reports :-) you need. About the bupdater, maybe there's an option to make it ignore the board mismatch (can be undocumented...). afudos and awdflash have it AFAIK. Did you tried bupdater with "/pc /g"? I couldn't find what they are for, but worth testing. Marcos

Re: [flashrom] I lost my backup image and now my pc doesn't start...!

No, it didn't give any errors. And No, bupdater identifies the bios of m4a.... and gives an error mesage because it knows the board is not appropriate for the bios of m4a.... So I have to do it with flashrom. Yes I can do hot swap as I mention in prev. mail. Same protocol same voltages... The one thing that I totally confused that: *the flashing*. Is it just a " sudo flashrom -w any.rom " process or more complicated than that like: updating some part of the chip with -- layout or -- image options and leaving other parts of the chip whit its original contents (like boot block) or something like that? And I do not really know if this process can affect the amd chipset of my board or its only effective on the flash chip? İf its just a writing process of any .ROM file I thing I can try forcing it to writing operation with internal programer...

Hello there..., My name is ilhan and I have just started to use a linux operating system, so I am new to all of these linux applications... While I am using this operating system, my self-confidence about diving into more tough stuff like *flashtom-0.9.4. *, has pushed me a downgrade flashing attempt on my motherboard, *Asus M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3*. Actually, I have tried a downgrade flashing whit my mobo's official applications, such as *asus update and bupdater, *in both FreeDos and * *Win7 environments but, this did not help me and kept saying that " you are trying to load an old version of bios"... So, I downloaded flashrom-0.9.4 source, installed it according to README file, read its manual (http://www.flashrom.org/trac/flashrom/browser/trunk/flashrom.8) and finally *I made a backup file*. While playing around these linux applications and procrastinating my bios flashing, days gone by... Then one day :)... I just decided to flash my bios because of increased freezings and shutdowns in Win7, without being aware of that I have lost my usb stick in which I backup my mobos image whit using: sudo flashrom -r m4a88tdbackup In other words; I, unconsciously, started the flashing whit out having a backup file... I simbly downloaded my old bios to my desktop (M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 BIOS 1601)from: http://support.asus.com/download/download_item_mkt.aspx?slanguage=en-us&mod… I named this file as m4a88tdnew.ROM and continue with ... ilhan@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ >> sudo flashrom -E ilhan@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ >> sudo flashrom -w m4a88tdnew.ROM After flashrom *verified that the chip (winbond W25Q16) content and the file content was same*, I hit the re-start button and this was the end of my computer :) It has not respond anything after that, not even any fan has cycled... I have already tried the firmware CD and usb which both contains the m4a88tu3.rom ( I think its the equivalent of the amitool.rom in the asus due to user guide instructions), have clear the cmos without its battery and have un-plugged everything (expect cpu) in various combinations... All I have now, at start, CD-rom trying to read the CDs but it gives up quickly and the most important the cpu fan and the cpu ( I guess) does not work... Trying all of this with out any luck, I decided to buy a new but cheaper mobo. I bought a Asus M4N68T-M ( *with Nvidia MCP61 chipset (un-tested) and Eon EN25F80 flash chip*). I plugged everything on this mobo and it just working like a charm. With this new card I continued my attempts to flash my old cards chip but, I realized that I have no enough skills even making a simple confirmation of that: did I succeed it, in a right way. I decided to go in short way, made a simple search on the issue and found the* yann's report *( http://paste.flashrom.org/view.php?id=687) about my old card. I requested from him to send me his back up image file via e-mail and he, kindly, said that he hadn't got any backup and directed me to the Asus support site which I already tried. *After all of this, as a last resort, I decided to stole your precious time for my unimportant problem... Can you help me about it. Can I resque my old card and how? I thought, if you can help me, in return of this help; I could contribute by sending you a report about both my new and old mobos :) I thing it is a good deal...:)) So How can I flash my old card's chip in my new card and verify its flashed in a right way? I thank you very much by now for just reading this long. * Have a good day.... -- İlhan KAHRAMAN Undergraduate Student at Materials Science & Engineering Department and Department of Industrial Design, Anadolu University, Eskisehir, Turkey e-mail: ilhan805(a)gmail.com

One concern is that flashrom does not appear to set the op.atomic field properly: 0x94: 0x0606 (PREOP) 0x96: 0x0be4 (OPTYPE) 0x98: 0x02030105 (OPMENU) 0x9C: 0xff9f3c20 (OPMENU+4) 0xA0: 0x00000000 (BBAR) 0xD0: 0x00000000 (FPB) Reading OPCODES... done preop0=0x06, preop1=0x06 op[0]=0x05, 0, 0 op[1]=0x01, 1, 0 op[2]=0x03, 2, 0 op[3]=0x02, 3, 0 op[4]=0x20, 3, 0 op[5]=0x3c, 2, 0 op[6]=0x9f, 0, 0 op[7]=0xff, 0, 0 The third column shows that none of the opcodes are configured as atomic cycles. Thus, Flashrom does not know to set the SPIC_ACS bit ( http://flashrom.org/trac/flashrom/browser/trunk/ichspi.c#L782) when processing these opcodes. If the "atomic" field is not set properly, then it is possible for ME or EC to interfere with flashrom in between write enable (WREN) opcodes such as block erase and program page.

If there are multiple ROMs present, then Flashrom use the "Hardware Sequencing" method of flashing when it detects the "Number of Components" (NC) > 0 in the flash descriptor region: http://flashrom.org/trac/flashrom/browser/trunk/ichspi.c#L1742 See FLMAP0 in the Intel documentation for more details, and ensure the NC field is programmed appropriately for your mainboard configuration. -- David Hendricks (dhendrix) Systems Software Engineer, Google Inc.
